The creative and cultural sector is on the rise throughout the world. The sector, which has an important socio-economic role to play in present times, needs leaders with capabilities of developing new ideas for the growth of this sector. The British Council is seeking applications from individuals for participation in Cultural Leadership International (CLI) Program 2011 that will focus on leadership networking for cultural and creative industries. The program is intended for the people currently engaged in the cultural sector and who wish to enhance their skills to play a key role in the growth and development of culture.

What is Cultural Leadership International?

CLI is a programme of activities which facilitate leadership networking and exchange in the broader cultural and creative industries. The programme focuses on supporting a new generation of cultural leaders to:

–          Understand the political, social, and economic power of culture, and develop the leadership tools which will enable them to influence their societies in key areas such as social inclusion and cultural rights’ development, cultural policy formulation, economic regeneration, conflict resolution, employment creation, etc.

–          Act internationally in their work: i.e. exchange knowledge and ideas with a global network of individuals and organisations beyond their usual sphere of operation.

–          Better understand the challenges affecting the cultural sector globally – i.e. the irruption of digital technology, the realisation and measurement of culture’s economic importance, the changes in state subsidy funding models, the impact of globalisation in local cultures, etc.

–          Encourage flexibility of thought and action to adapt to these new challenges and encourage the understanding of other contexts and experiences through intercultural dialogue.

–          Strengthen the influence and position of the cultural sector cross-sectorally and globally as a key social agent.

What does the programme involve?

The programme for 2011 will involve the following components:

–          Leadership Development Workshop

            Once selected, all participants will be invited to take part in a 4-day Leadership Development Workshop in Istanbul from 24-27 October 2011 (during the Istanbul Biennale). This is the starting point of the programme, and involves training sessions on leadership skills and networking opportunities with the other participants.

–          Professional Development Plan

   Participants will be asked to work on a Professional Development Plan, identifying their professional needs and goals and coming up with a plan to achieve these based on UK opportunities being offered by the British Council. The Plan needs to be approved before 31 December 2011 and implemented between then and the end of December 2012. Participants will receive a grant of £3,000 to implement their plan as well as support from the British Council in identifying suitable opportunities in the UK.

Eligible Countries:

For 2011, CLI will have participants from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, UAE, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Hungary, Romania and the Czech Republic.

Last date for submitting the applications is August 27, 2011.
